But &#8211; this <em>isn&#8217;t the case for everyone<\/em>. Many people and organizations &#8211; across <em>dozens<\/em> of key industries &#8211; either have an antiquated stigma around <em>using<\/em> open-source software, or may be <em>unaware<\/em> of the options available to them.<\/p>\n<p>This affects our world <em>deeply<\/em>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A non-profit organization spending 20% of an operating budget on annual licensing fees. <em>Their outreach ability is, in turn, reduced.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Technologists in government offices being hindered against agile development and policy adjustments by proprietary software, and draconian vendor contracts. <em>Their ability to help their communities is delayed.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Educational facilities prevented from providing modern computers and software\u00a0to their students due to contractual obligations with vendors, and the common usage of\u00a0closed software. <em>Students are then using out-dated systems and software, risking\u00a0their curriculum being irrelevant, and their education being inefficient or ineffective.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our hope is that these notable panelists will engage <i>someone<\/i> in the audience to make a change at their institution. Not\u00a0<em>necessarily<\/em>\u00a0to the altruism, progressive ethics, and global-perspectives that can be common with open-source projects, but rather the\u00a0<em>benefits<\/em>\u00a0in cost and logistics reduction &#8211; factors <em>everyone<\/em> places at a priority.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Get involved<\/h2>\n<p>The <span class=\"il\">panel<\/span> will be a series of (somewhat) curated questions in combination with questions submitted by attendees, and twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Have a question you&#8217;d like us to ask at the panel? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPLanc\" target=\"_blank\">Tell us on twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Our distinguished panelists<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/2016.lancasterpa.wordcamp.org\/speaker\/charlie-reisinger\/\">Charlie Reisinger<\/a>,\u00a0<em>IT Director, Penn Manor School District, Lancaster County.
